Just How Fast is My Internet Connection

Where I live is what can only be described as a valley and a number of factors that I will be explaining below mean that communications seem to be a little bit of an issue. I have a connection to the internet but I am left asking just how fast is my internet connection.

When I first moved in I was delighted to find out that the company that maintain the grounds offer their own phone and internet service and you just call them up and they come round and install it for you. However this comes at a cost and I find out that it is a high cost because it is double that of a standard line and internet connection, half the speed double the price! Hmmm I think not!

So being in an area where I can get one of the new WIMAX (wireless broadband) I call up and they send an engineer who sits scratching his head and tells me there is a mountain in the way. "If its a problem then just move it!" I joke as he heads for the door. So that kills off yet another idea and I am left with the option of a mobile connection using 3G technology.

The 3G technology proves to be a hit but there are a few downfalls, there are times when 3G isn't available and at this time I am left asking just how fast is my internet connection when I don't have my super speed?

I am somewhat gutted to find that my connection is less than that of the old dial up connection after running the speed test so I begin to look around for a way to make that go faster when I don't have my fast connection.

There are ways of making your internet connection faster when you have a slow link but the first thing I had to do was to ask myself just how fast is my internet connection.

Copying and Backing Up Nintendo Wii Games Just Got A Lot Easier

Remember how difficult it once was to copy disc-based videogames? There was a time when multiple software titles had to be used, special DVD burners had to be installed, and hours were spent - just to copy one game title. In the past few months, that has all changed with the introduction of special software to make backing up discs, especially those for the hot, new Nintendo Wii, a breeze!

Several months ago, an early version of Game Copy Pro was released. The program was designed to be a one stop shop for users to duplicate any game disc, for any system. The initial release worked on Gamecube, PS2, PS3, Playstation, Gamecube, and Dreamcast titles. In November, Version 2.73 of the program was released, now allowing users to backup Wii titles as well.

So why would you want this software? After all, video game piracy is illegal in most parts of the world. The answer is simple. As technology in video game systems and the programming time required for their games has increased, so has the cost of those games. The delicate surface of the media discs most games are contained on is susceptible to scratches, knicks, and other forms of wear and tear. These mishaps can prove costly, often setting gamers back $70 or more a pop. By copying (also known as backing up) a game you legally own, you can use that game for regular play, thus minimizing the chance of your original becoming damaged.

It is important to note, that Game Copy Pro is not intended for the illegal piracy of copyrighted material. It is important to ensure that you are only replicating discs that you legally own.
